• Wash your skin daily with warm water only, as soap may dry the skin and hot water will wash away body oils. • If you are wearing pressure garments make sure you are wearing them as instructed and rinsing all the soap out of them after washing. Keep wearing your garments, as the pressure may help with the itching. 

Press a chilled, damp cloth (over the garments) on to the itchy area to reduce the redness. • Massage moisturiser (Dermaveen or Sorbolene) into the healing skin to prevent dryness and flaking. Dermaveen has colloidal oatmeal which helps to reduce itching.
